NRI KYC documents: a printable checklist

Last reviewed 8 October 2026

Tick each line when you have it ready. Ask us before you get copies attested abroad: which attestation is accepted depends on the route, and we prepare the right forms for your case.

Identity

• Your PAN.
• Your passport.
• If relevant: your visa or proof of NRI or OCI status.
• A recent photograph.

Address

• Overseas address proof: a document showing where you actually live abroad.
• If you have one: your Indian address, in addition to the overseas one.

Verification

• Time for in-person or video verification. A live check of you against your documents is part of NRI KYC.

Bank

• Your NRE or NRO account details, with a cancelled cheque or a recent statement for that account. Which account you invest from decides how the money can come back out.

Tax residency

• A FATCA/CRS self-declaration: your country or countries of tax residence and your tax identification number in each. It is mandatory; an application does not complete without it.

Contact

• An email address and mobile number in your own name that you check while you are abroad.
